I liked Max but also felt like he wasn’t fully fleshed out. He went from being suave man to not in like three pages, then the rest of the book he’s still being called suave but he hardly does anything in this book deserving that title. In the first book, yes he’s a playboy, but I wish we saw the reduction of playboy more than “all of a sudden” he’s in a dry spell. Idk the idea was there, execution was not (imo).
Moderate: Emotional abuse
Minor: Child abuse, Death of parent, and Homophobia
